luxury ! How about frozen wetsuit left outside all night. And frozen caving pants too. I was tough when I was younger. Adjourn to cake shop is how I'd deal with it these days.
Horrible

Drysuit for me, toastie from the neck down. When I'm at Stoney Cove we run the hoods under the hot taps so they are nice to pull on.

caving not diving, and tends to be fleece rather than wetsuit nowdays anyway, but when I were a lad...
Drysuit for diving - abso-bloody-lutely

Exiting a cave in which you've just been neck-deep in water, to find it's now snowing heavily, dark, and with a 30mph+ wind, then having to strip off completely in said blizzard to then don dry, but icy cold, clothing from your car. That's Derbyshire for you.

And then trying to remember which chink in the dry stone wall you hid your car keys in
Ah yes, cagoules that packed into their own pocket and were guaranteed to leave you wetter on the inside than the outside.

Putting on a set of wet oilskins when you take over an early watch in lumpy seas takes a bit of beating.

Yeah! And you can smell them a mile away. I once had the displeasure of having to drive a car with a tub full of such wetsuits in the back that has been ripening in the hot car for a few hours before the journey.Dry suits are for wimps.
Real men put on a damp wetsuit..... and just pee in it to warm up.

Us too, but our box was constantly soaked. And it was a busy road.
